Low Rent

bare bulb; harsh light tombstone gray wall. share the bathroom down shadow crammed hall. rusty water; dusty carpets, mattress on the floor no roaches anywhere the vile little vermin left for greener pastures cracked plaster patterns laced with peeling paint. this is where dying hope rents lodging by the week all the morose roomers never make eye contact. no-one ever speaks. i know i don't belong here with all the freaks but, i'm going through a rough patch, you know- and, the rent is really cheap
